Database connector for contacts view

@p.konetskiy

I can drill down to modules/Contacts/views/view.list.php. If I remove the line of code require_once(‘modules/Contacts/ContactsListViewSmarty.php’); the contacts list view fails to load. Can I assume that the required database string is found here?

If I open the ContactsListViewSmarty.php file there are a couple of files within this it references. If I take both of them out the Contacts pages loads fine. There are a number of functions in the class on the page reference the ListViewSmarty base class.

I can remove literally all of the code from the class on this page as well as the file that references the base class and the page still loads correctly so I am still confused as to where any reference a connection with the SQL backend lies.
